Good Eats with Alton Brown: Sweet Somethings: Sometimes I wonder if I really need to say anything about the stuff that I really like? I suppose that while it is somewhat obvious as to what my verdict will be, I think I should at least say a few words about this set.

As Alton Brown himself admits, he has a bit of a sweet tooth and many of the episodes featured on here reflect that as they are all about dessert. We learn about pudding, chocolate, gelatin and other dessert foods with ABs signature mix of wit and science. I believe that segments of Good Eats could be used in middle school chemistry classes to show a little bit of how this stuff applies to the real world.

Of course, this is another good set and worth buying.

Good Eats with Alton Brown: More Super Sweets, Family Favorites, Say Cheese: Here we have three more discs of episodes of the best cooking show currently on TV. I really don't know what exactly there is to say about Good Eats that I didn't cover on the other two sets I have. Basically Alton Brown is the Bill Nye of cooking shows and he lends his humor and knowledge of cooking science to make food interesting.

I recommend Good Eats sets even before I watch them so anything else would be saying too much.
